Source? Looks like the cutoff is just 300k a year. A pretty large fraction of developers at big companies like Google and Facebook should get above that in their lifetime.

- rootusrootus 7y agoI skipped past the dqydj.com hits on Google beacuse I don't recognize the name. Which isn't to say that it isn't valid data, just that I was looking for something that I felt was plausibly accurate. For example, this Investopedia article puts it at $718K when written [1]. CBS News puts it at 421K. CNN Money put it at $388K ... in 2014. In 2018 Forbes put it at $488K. So it depends on who you think ran the numbers right. Or what they mean by 1% (some sources try to combine income and net worth to make a hybrid definition of 1%, which just muddies the water even more). 1. https://www.investopedia.com/personal-finance/how-much-income-puts-you-top-1-5-10/ https://www.investopedia.com/personal-finance/how-much-incom...
